Kangana Ranaut previously referred to Urmila Matondkar as a ‘soft porn star’ following derogatory remarks made by the latter. Their ongoing feud, which grabbed headlines in 2020, resurfaced after a video emerged shedding light on the origins of their conflict.
The animosity between Kangana Ranaut and Urmila Matondkar dates back to 2020 when Urmila transitioned from acting to politics, initially aligning with the Congress party before later joining Shiv Sena. Kangana, slated to contest the 2024 Lok Sabha elections on a BJP ticket, engaged in verbal sparring with Urmila over political affiliations.

In a controversial interview with Times Now in September 2020, Kangana Ranaut ignited controversy by branding Urmila Matondkar as a ‘soft porn star.’ Kangana defended her remarks by highlighting Urmila’s disparaging comments about her struggles and political ambitions. Kangana’s statement stirred controversy, questioning Urmila’s credibility as an actress and implying her success was solely due to provocative roles rather than talent.
The feud escalated when Urmila referred to Kangana as a ‘rudali’ in an interview, criticizing her constant complaints about the film industry. Despite expressing readiness to apologize if her remark was deemed offensive, Urmila stood by her criticism, challenging Kangana’s victim narrative and questioning her gratitude towards the industry that had propelled her career. Kangana said,
“I saw one very derogatory interview given by Urmila Matondkar. The way she was talking about me, pulling faces, making a mockery about my struggles, attacking me on the fact that I am trying to appease BJP for a ticket. One doesn’t have to be a genius to figure that for me it is not very difficult to get a ticket. Urmila is a soft porn star. She is not known for her acting for sure, what is she known for? For doing soft porn right. If she could get a ticket, why wouldn’t I get a ticket?”
If a young man gets ticket his ideology is attacked if a young woman gets ticket her sexuality is attacked.
Strange !!
Also congress people are sexualising a small town’s name.
Mandi is being used in sexual context every where, just because it has a young woman candidate, shame… pic.twitter.com/BIn2XfWXjz— Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) March 25, 2024
Reacting to statements given by Kangana, Urmila emphasized that,
“I said rudali in a certain context, and if at all it was offensive, I have absolutely no qualms in saying I am sorry about it. Maybe not her, maybe the people who support her so dearly. So I am sorry if anything like that has gone out of context. It doesn’t make me small.”
“It was used by me in a context. I have not understood why a person constantly chooses to only play a victim card. You and I can also do that. When you have had such a long and lovely career in the industry, which has given you so much, are you trying to say that there was nothing good about it? There was not a single person, day, anything that happened good?”
